It does just work. I plug in my camera. It opens up iPhoto. I click import. It imports, if it is a JPEG or a RAW file. With Aperture it is even better when working with RAW files.

But most people state that they get better RAW importing (or converting to another format) from the software that comes from the camera company. But don't take my word for it. I am now a proud owner of a Mac and I don't need to worry about all this. It just works.

Why would adding RAW format be an advantage? It is a digital negative not a working format. You would need to covert it another format to work with it and export it.

I like that idea... I would love it if it was a "growing" like bar (like the Mac OS X dock). That would be cool... And maybe if it was multipurpose like an option to show recent images in there. It would be nice if you could just drag an image from there into the current one to add it as a layer.

I have tried that PNG fix in the past and was not successful. This one... http://www.mongus.net/pngInfo/ is the easiest one that I have ever used (and that works for me). You may want to try that. Also... you may alternatively try downloading Firefox (just a suggestion) and seeing if it works in that browser. If it does, and not in IE, it is a browser issue. If it doesn't work in Firefox than it is an image issue.

Internet Explorer is bloody potato. It does not [currently] have proper transparent PNG support. This I think will be fixed in IE 7. But I would just reject all IE users and tell them to switch to Firefox.

You could just drag the file into another app. If you needed to print the "real" size, use a broswer such as Firefox or if you had to, IE. EDIT: You must use an image format such as .JPG, .PNG, .GIF, etc... not the .PDN file.

Your welcome.

Sure, we are not really convert it but it is the same thing... Open up the file. Go to File > Save As > Choose the .JPG file format > Name it > Save it Done. Simple?

Why does it say Visual Studio 2003 Pro and NOT Visual Studio 2005? Is this some type of backwards compatability issuse, as I have never used these apps?

Oh, ok... Well, why hasn't it been implimented then?

The crappy Windows Print "wizard" does not have much of any choice when it comes to printing non-standard images sizes. If something is not a wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10, it makes it one of those. And if it is a small image, it gets all pixelated. So here is my suggestion... Dump the wizard and go with a true print something that has a "Print Actual Size" selection.

That would be nice also.

Curves adjustment IS much better. More curve to it, the last on was just lines. I would also like to suggest a feature: Drag a point on the curves box to delete, more like Photoshop.

I know that that is why "I was playing around with the rest but they all seem pretty similar", I want to know what the definition of them are. A lot seem to the the same effect.

There are a lot of layer modes in 2.6 alpha. I cannot get Reflect and Glow to work, it just crashes on me. Anyways, I was playing around with the rest but they all seem pretty similar. Can someone run down the list of ALL of the modes and give a quick discription. (I know what lighten and darken mean). Thanks, and if some one can get Glow and Reflection to work, can you post a sample image of it? Thanks again.

I know you guys switched the text encoding format (or something like that) a while back. The one problem that I have is that I need to have the text match images made with the version BEFORE you changed the text format thing, and the spacing between letters is off. Is there any way to use the encoding from an old version (without downloading the old version)? If not then I would like to make a suggestion to enable/disable the different encoding.

You would still have to move the titlebars...

Well, I don't know how to change the settings, but, if you use the "Move Selected Pixels" tool while the image is selected (when you paste it in) you can move the entire image to the desired location. But I would like to know, [if] and how this can be changed.

You could... Open the car image (larger image) then go to Layer > Import from file. That would give you a layer of the background (smaller image). Then you could then either A) make the background layer bigger to match the car layer --or-- make the car layer smaller to match the background layer. Then select the correct area and then Image > Crop to Selection Did that answer your question?

This I think this comes standard with Windows Media Center... But, of course there is a work-around which is a wonderful theme... http://www.uneasysilence.com/index.php?p=1837

Umm, I am not sure what you are talking about, but... You may want to select the background with the rectangle tool, then, use CLICK the "Move Selected Pixels" button. If done correctly you should see like 8 little squares where ur selection border is. Choose a square (probably the bottom right square) and hold the SHIFT key [that will keep it proportioned]. Countinue resizing until desired size is achieved. OR.... You could simply go to Layer>Rotate/Zoom. Then use the ZOOM selector and you may need to use the PAN tool also.

You could... * Duplicate the layer * Select (quickly) around the car with lasso tool > EDIT > Invert Selection (so that the out portion is selected * Press the delete key (you may want to uncheck visability of the original layer * Reduce the tolerance level. * Use the wand tool to select portions of the left over area THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE CAR (if it selects too much reduce the tolerence) * As you do that delete those portions. * Once done you have an entire layer of just the car But if that doesn't work and/or it's too hard, then no. This also is a bad idea if you have a green car in a grassy field (you get the idea)

I kinda like the old version... But this is better for new people to Paint.NET

I like the Dock idea...
